McLeod's Brewery Cyclone Swell Unfiltered IPA
McLeod's Brewery Cyclone Swell Unfiltered IPA delivers a powerful sensory impact reminiscent of its coastal namesake. A vibrant blend of Simcoe, Zythos, and NZ Pacifica hops creates a layered profile where ripe citrus and succulent rock melon meet the resinous snap of pine needles. The unfiltered presentation amplifies the raw hop character, introducing intriguing dank undertones that ground the tropical highlights. Despite its 7% ABV, the beer remains remarkably approachable, supported by a soft, undulating bitterness and a sturdy malt foundation. This Hazy IPA balances its West Coast-meets-New Zealand identity with a smooth, juicy texture that captures the essence of fresh hop oils in every sip.
Appearance. Pours a hazy, luminous straw-gold with an orange hue. It is topped by a persistent, rocky white meringue-like head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical rock melon, grapefruit, and zesty citrus. Secondary notes of fresh pine needles and a resinous dankness emerge, supported by a clean, lightly bready malt background and a hint of fruity fermentation esters.
Taste. Leading with a burst of ripe melon and citrus hop flavors, the palate transitions into a complex middle of pine and dank earthiness. The bitterness is soft and restrained, well-integrated with a low-to-medium grainy malt sweetness. The finish is smooth and off-dry, lingering with juicy fruit and a clean hop resonance.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, plush texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel without harshness. A gentle alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its strength without becoming hot.
